<p>The heartbroken Dad accidentally killed his little girl by running her over with his van in a freak tragedy, an inquest heard this week.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1354281/horror-as-dad-accidentally-kills-three-year-old-daughter-by-running-her-over-with-his-van/" target="_blank">The Sun reports</a> that Richard&nbsp;had been fixing a toy bike for his daughter before going to get cigarettes and said Lacey was in the living room when he was leaving.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&quot;When I was leaving I didn&rsquo;t see Lacey, I didn&rsquo;t look for her I just didn&rsquo;t see her &ndash; I simply didn&rsquo;t know she was there.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t see anything, she was only little. It is unbelievable how this has happened. We had a perfect life with baby Lacey.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It was heartbreaking. It has destroyed the family, we don&rsquo;t sleep at night. It burned the family and it still burns the family now.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Assistant Coroner Sally Hatfield recorded a conclusion of death by road traffic accident.</p>

<p>She said: &ldquo;This was the most shocking accident. It happened in a moment and it was one of those tragedies that could not have been prevented.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;Nothing could have been done to avoid this freak accident. It was unavoidable, and unseeable, there is no fault of anyone.&rdquo;</p>
